How do you receive information during a reading?
I have been receiving messages from the other side since I was a small child. Most of the time, these come as visions, words, or physical sensations. During a reading, I connect with your energy field to create a temporary link between us. This allows our guides to communicate and information to trickle into my mind. Often, I will get one word/picture/physical feeling that I pull on, like a thread, to get the whole transmission. You will likely understand these puzzle pieces better than I will. At the end of each session, I disconnect our link and close the channel. Each session is protected with prayer and light energy before we begin the reading or healing.
What is a Chakra Reading & Energy Clearing?
The Chakra Reading & Energy Clearing is predominately a psychic reading, where we dive deep into your energy centers to examine each major area of your life. These areas include:
stability, finances, grounding (Root)
sensuality and creativity (Sacral)
personal power and soul path (Solar Plexus)
love, compassion, heartache and emotional trauma (Heart)
communication, self-expression, speaking your truth (Throat)
intuition and psychic abilities (Third Eye)
connection to God/Oneness/the Universe (Crown)
For more information on the chakra system, see the next FAQ. The Chakra Reading takes ~60 minutes and is followed by ~20-30 minutes of a personalized energy clearing and healing, which removes blockages and increases the functionality and health of your energy body. If there are attachments present, these are removed at this time. This type of session is the most intensive and all-encompassing. Most of the time, it will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, although it can bring up sticky energy within the body that will need to be processed physically or emotionally. Think of it as a purging of old gunk in the body that will lead to whole-body healing and wellness!
What are the chakras?
The chakra system was first mentioned in the Upanishads, which is an ancient Hindu Vedic text dating back to 700 - 500 BCE. This was fine-tuned over centuries and now refer to subtle energy bodies found along the center of our physical body that are circular in shape (chakra = wheel). The chakras are one of the focal points of Yoga and are used in meditative practices to direct life-force energy.
As mentioned above, there are seven major energy centers that correspond to a specific area of life. These are not the only chakras, as there are others in the hands, above the head and below the feet. The seven energy centers have both Sanskrit and English names which are:
Sahastrara - Crown
Ajna - Third Eye
Vishuddha - Throat
Anahata - Heart
Manipura - Solar Plexus
Svadhishthana - Sacral
Muladhara - Root
Each of our chakra centers absorb and emit energy, which can be tapped into with the right tools. A balanced chakra system is important to our overall health. It is normal for our chakras to become out of balance with the stress of life and through challenging situations. Using tools such as meditation, energy work, crystal healing, and self-care techniques can help keep these energy bodies working efficiently.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese modality of healing in which Universal Energy is transmitted to the recipient through the Practitioner's palms. The healer uses symbols drawn over the body to channel particular healing frequencies. Mikao Usui, the founder of modern Reiki, received the energy vibrations and symbols of Reiki while meditating on Mt. Karuma in 1922. He trained thousands of Practitioners and established healing clinics throughout Japan. Since then, many new lineages have been established and other symbols have been channeled by others.
Universal Energy, also called Life Force Energy or Qi, is electromagnetic energy that flows through all of creation. The existence of this energy is not controversial, as Western science has understood that we interact with and emit this energy for nearly 200 years, while quantum physics continues to grow our understanding of how energy interacts.
A trained Reiki Practitioner has been taught to direct energy in and out of the body and auric field. Universal Energy is not bound by time or space, which means that Reiki can heal the past, present, or future and can be done effectively through a remote session.
What's the difference between a Reiki healing and an Energy Tune-Up?
Reiki healing can be done by anyone, at any time, for any reason. Much like receiving a massage or acupuncture, this can be used to work on problem areas or for overall wellness. The Energy Tune-Up has all of these qualities, but are customized based on the client's prior history with me.
To receive an Energy Tune-Up, you must have already received the Chakra Reading & Energy Clearing. We build upon the work done in the initial session and examine what needs more or less support. These can be reoccurring and when desired, will include an action plan for your energetic, emotional, and physical health.
What is Intuitive Reiki and how does it differ from a regular Reiki session?
As an intuitive, interacting with your energy body naturally brings forth messages that are trying to get through to you. While I perform Reiki, I am able to communicate important information on your chakras, life situations, and overall well-being. These sessions combine this powerful healing modality with psychic transmissions.
What is Conscious Breathwork and what can I expect during a session?
Conscious Breathwork is a powerful somatic healing modality backed by science and psychology! This practice can aid in trauma healing and regulates the nervous system by connecting the mind and body. This is a great practice if you're looking for deep healing, personal growth, or would like to connect deeper with yourself. Recent studies suggest that conscious breathwork is effective for physical and mental relaxation, anxiety and stress reduction with positive effects on one's overall sense of well-being. Many individuals have reported transformative experiences that have helped them better cope with trauma and depression, with improved physical vitality.
Conscious breathwork uses three main breathing techniques to evoke physiological changes. A session begins with a brief introduction to make sure you feel comfortable and supported. The active breathing techniques are employed for 45 minutes to an hour. Before and after the breathwork practice, we will use gentle movement to connect deeper into the body and move energy. Afterwards, there will be time for journaling, processing, and integration.
If you are pregnant, have heart conditions or are using SSRIs, please contact me so I can adjust the breathwork according to your needs.
How effective are virtual sessions?
Nearly all of my sessions are done virtually, except when I open up temporary in-person availability in pop-up cities. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions. All of my intuitive readings do not require a physical presence, as I energetically connect to you and your guides. All energy healings are not constricted by physical limits, and can be done anywhere. I recommend that my clients have a quiet and peaceful place where they can receive the healing while I am transmitting energy remotely.
